Kelly Drive, Phila.

If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden. ~Claudia Ghandi

As you can probably guess by now, my sweet Albert is back from Oklahoma safe and sound and in my company again. I couldn't be more content. It's funny, I think this was the longest we were ever away from one another since we've been married (which will be 7 years at the end of this month). Anyhow as the week was very long...I did manage to get all the things I planned to accomplished, which included repurposing an old dinette set for our new house. As I still have a long way to go till it's complete, I am already thrilled with how it is turning out. More to come on that at a later time. Now I just want to enjoy this evening with Al, strolling down Kelly Drive, sipping coffee and perhaps coming home and watching a little Harry Potter to get us in the mood for July 15th:)

Talk to you later darlings!

Love,
at

    This place is incredible! It looks like you moved beck in time. Old houses, a lot of flora, pure water, and you look like a little girl in this sweet dress and a hat. So romatic.

    I love these photos so much! Especially the first two, they really do look like Monet paintings! The dress you are wearing is beautiful with its delicate flowy fabric, its soft shade, and the lace along the neckline, which adds a romantic, fancy detail. And I have such hat envy at the moment! Those flowers along the brim are so pretty!

    I'm going to watch some HP myself now to prepare as the movie will be coming out the 13th!! Can't wait! :) xxx

    have you just tripped into a space time continuum and ended up in England back in say the 40's? honestly these photos blow me away. Marisa, you incredible beauty, what else can i say....i am dumbfounded with glee. and holy toned legs is what, i see that definition peeking out from beneath your darling dress : )

    glad you two are back in each others arms once more. nothing better than nookin' with the handsome counterparts in our life! congrats on all the accomplishments, good for you! ♥

    pea ess: the scarf i wore in those pics was b/c it was a bit breezy and i was sorta under the weather but it is def not super summer hot yet. still need the odd bundle up in the shade or wind. hope soon full force heat wave will arrive. xo

    *time to cue the coos*

    AWWWWW. THIS POST IS SO SWEET. Seriously. I LOVEEE IT. It's so mystical and magical and lovey and dovey and AH AMAZING. I feel like you should be in a snow globe or something. I don't really know what that means. But I've always found a bit of magic and serenity in looking at snow globes, so yeahhh, this is a good thing.

    And that's a beautiful quote! eek. Love this whole post, as alwayyys.
